  Narrow gauge railroading has been my long time favorite ever since I had the chance to take a ride on the Durango & Silverton RR back in 1974, when it was still operated by the D&RGW.  I bought a Westside Model Co. brass D&RGW T-12 a little later, which I painted and lettered. Being a college student in those days, that was some expenditure. IIRC, the cost was $ 160, plus shipping to Germany and duty - more than my monthly allowance in those days. <img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/T-125.jpg" style="max-width: 550px;" border="0" /> <img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/T-124.jpg" style="max-width: 550px;" border="0" /> It´s a far cry from those beautifully detailed Blackstone engines, which are out of reach for me in terms of price. I am still in love with narrow gauge. My layout is based on a line in Japan, where the "standard" gauge is 3 1/2 ft.. <img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/P1020251c.jpg" style="max-width: 550px;" border="0" /> Does not really look like narrow gauge, does it? <img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/LOKIV-6.jpg" style="max-width: 550px;" border="0" /> The C-18 or the C-19 are my favorite D&RGW locos. The above drawing I made using Atlas RTS.
